A correspondent sends us the following for publication — "My Dear Friends of Haverfordwest,—Tho active struggle in this country may be said to have commenced Christians in this quarter of the world are divided into two pnrties,-the lioman Catholics and the Protestants The Roman Catholics assert the authority of the Church of Rome: the supremacy of the Pope: the intercession of the Virgin and the Saints: the worship of the Virion Mary: the worship of Saints: the use of fmages: the veneration of relics: the power of granting indulgences the of purgatory: the doctrine of tranaubstan- tiation and that there are seven sacranients which confer Grace. The Protectants refuse their assent to these things,-believing them to be unscriptural; and they renounce all submission to the assumed power of the Church of Home the Romanists likewise affirm—what Protestants deny.-that the word of God is contained both in the scriptures and in certain unwritten traditions to which they ascribe equal authority. That I may represent the faith of Romanism fairly, I give the fol- lowing extracts from the creed of Pope Pius IV., in the very words in which they were published ten years aitoin defence of the Roman Catholics, by Mr Butler in his book of the Roman Catholic Church, wherein he affirms that this creed ia considered in every part of the world as an accurate and explicit summary of t'je Roman Catholic faith." [Our correspondent has omitted to forward the extract retcrrei to in bis address."] DUNGLEDDY PETTY SESSIONS. An adjourned petty sessions was held at the Shire Hall, on the 5th inst, before S. Harford, Esq, and Rev P. Phelps. CHARGE or STEALING A WILL. James Williams, and Renjiinihi Williams, were charged by Mr Thomas Lewis, solicitor, of Narberth, with stealing a will. Mr W. John appeared for the prosecution, and Mr J. Price for the defence. Mr John baying opened the case, called Thomas Davies, farmer, of Steynton, who deposed that in the year 135:3 he resided at Bull-hook, in the parish of Ciarheston. Be knew the late Mr William Williams, of Ddoleiron, in the parish of Bletherston. In the month of May, 1853, he prepared, at his re- quest, the will produced. He saw Mr Williams sign the will it was signed in the presence of him (witness) and Thomas Phillips, who were the attesting witnesses. He could not tell whether the testator or he (witness) signed first he had prepared many common wills, but lie was not aware which should sign first-the testator or the witnesses. In cross-examination, the witness said that Benia- min Williams, who was a son of the testator, was" at his house, enquiring about the will he (witness) told him he could not say anything about the will until he saw it. Frances Williams, a daughter of the late Mr W, Williams, of Ddoleiron, deposed that she lived at Ddoleirou with her mother. She delivered on Mon- day week to the prisoners, who were her brothers, a copy of her father's will, which she had received from ivlr William Phillips, of Narberth. They read it in her presence, and Benjamin Williams put it into his pocket. On the 27th of August, she saw Mr T. Lewis, attorney, of Narberth. Mr W. Phillips, and Mr John Griffiths, of Noble Court, at her mother's house. At two o'clock on the following morning, her brother William Williams brought the will pro- duced and other papers annexed, to the house, and threw them to her mother, who was in bed. She delivered the will and other papers to Mr Lewis. Mr Thomas Lewis, solicitor, of Narherth, deposed that on the 27th of August, in pursuance of instruc- tions he had received, he went to Ddoleiron. accom- panied by Mr William Phillips, and Mr John Griffiths. He brought with him the will of the testator and other papers then produced. The date of the will was the 25th of May, 1853, and the papers annexed were an inventory and blank affidavits. The object of his visit was to obtain proof of the will. He saw there Mrs Williams, her daughter, the prisoners, and Mis llosser, another sister of the pri- soners, and her husband John Rosser. There was a large number of people there besides. Thomas Phillips, who appeared to be one of the attesting witnesses to the will, was there. Mr William Phillips asked him to show the will to Thomas Phillips. Mr W. Phillips put the will into Thomas Phillips's hand, and he said he was an attesting witness, Mr W. Phillips had the will in his hand, and W. Williams laid hold of it. '1 he will was put into his hand, and he appeared to read it over. William Williams handed it to Benjamin Williams, and Benjamin ap- peared to read it over. When he had finished, Benjamin Williams folded it up and he (witness) thought he was going to givv it and the other papers back, but he handed them to James Williams saying liere, James, put them into your pocket: it is not worth anything, as there is no date to it.' James put it into his pocket he (witness) asked him to give it back. The prisoners would not, and he (witness) attempted to get it by force. He failed to get it back, because they resisted. Some one in the room said 1 Vfg ivill go out for more help,' and half-a- dozen persons were brought in. Finding the force was too strong, and thinking that the will and papers would be destroyed in a scuffle, he made no further attempt. The prisoners and other parties went out, and put a horse in a market cart while they were putting the horse in the cart, James Williams stood beside the cart, with a stick about three feet and a half long, and about the thickness of a mop- stick. They got into the cart, and went for Haverfordwest. He, Mr W. Phillips, and Mr John Griffiths fol- lowed them to Haverfordwest. The prisoners drove furiously, at the rate oi 12 miles an hour. r In cross-examination, the witness said that the prisoners did not offer to give bail that the papers should be returned, and that nil he wanted with them, was to show them to a lawyer. The will had not been injured. Mr William Phillips, of Narberth, gllve corro- borative testimony, and the case was adjourned for a week. On Saturday last, the enquiry was resumed. M r John Griffiths, of Noble Court, was examined, and detailed at length the circumstances that took place at Ddoleiron on the 2^th of August. Mrs Elizabeth Phillips, of Shoals Hook, also deposed to what occurred in the house at Ddol- eiron on the 27th of August. Mr Price, on behalf of the accused, said that they bad been informed that the contents of the will were different from what they really were, and being under the impression that a date was want- ing, they took it for the purpose of showing it to a lawyer. They never intended to steai it; all they wished was to be advised upon it, and after it had been shown to a lawyer, it was returned uninjured to the mother of the prisoners. William Williams, a brother of the prisoners, deposed that he lived at Martin's Hill, in the parish of Martletwy. He saw the will on the day the sale was to be at Ddoleiron, but had never seen it before. Mr W. Phillips handed the will to Thomas Phillips first of all, and then told him (witness) that he could read it if be liked. As he was reading it, Benjamin Williams came on, and took hold of it. He folded it up and gave it to his brother James, telling him to put it in his pocket. Then Mr Lewis jumped up and took hold of his (wit- ness's) brother, but failed to get the will back. After the scuffle was over, his brother offered to give bail that he would bring back the will safe enough and said he was going to Haverfordwest to show it to a lawyer. James Williams had al- ways lived at home with his mother since his father's death, and was living there now. In cross-examination, the witness said he saw a copy of the will before the sale. He wanted to see the original will, as the two witnesses who signed it did not remember any thing about it. He saw the signatures, and thought one was that of Mr Z, I Davies, of Steynton. He did not know his father's handwriting. He saw that the will ga*e the pro- perty to his mother. He never took anything from Ddoleiron without his mother's permission. He never saw a lock broken. He declined to an- swer any question relating to the removal of casks of butter. Re-examined: He took the will back to his mother. He received it from John Rosser. John Rosser deposed that he brought the will to Mr Price, the solicitor, and returned it to the last witness, William Williams. The Bench dismissed the case, remarking that while the prisoners had committed a very unjusti- fiable act in taking the will, yet there was not in their opinion the slightest ground for believing that they intended to steal it
TENBY.

ACCIDENT. —On Frichy week an accident of a serious nature occurred, which rni^ht have proved fatal, to a boy eleven years of ago, the sun of Mr Morris Phiilipa, who while attempting to get behind a carriage going through High Street, slipped, and bis foot goi between the spokes of the wheel. An ainnn was immediately raised, when the driver pulled up, and the boy was extricated. Up n examination it was found that his leg was broken, and his side brui3ed. Tne little fellow was taken home, where, under the management of that skiliul surgeon,G. "Chater, Eóq, he is progresaing favourably. NARUOAV ESCAPE FROM DROWXINO.—A vpry narrow escape from dr .wninv, occurred on Saturday morning last on the South Sands. Miss Jones, a lady visitor staying at No. 7, Rock Houso, together with her servant maid, went into the water from a machine, just under theLexden Terrace. It being nearly high water, the tide was up to the rocks at the time, when the young lady got beyond her depth, and the servant seeing her peril- ous position, attempted to go to her rescue, when she was caught by the current and drawn out to sea. Their cries for help were heard by those on the beach, and two yevng men, named George Thomas and Charles Birkin, who happened to be near at hand, immediately plunged into the sea and swam to their assistance, and succeeded in keeping them up until other men came to their aid, when both were safely brought to the shore, in a very exhausted state. We are glad to say that all who as- sisted in the rescue were rewarded, £10 having been divided amongst them. TENBY CORPORATION. At a special meeting of the Town Council, held on Wednesday, the 9th instant, present—The Mayor; Al- dermen C. C. Wells and It. A) aeon Councillors C. Allen, G. White, G. Hughes, G Mends, W. Gibbs, J. Gifford, and W. W. flees, the following letterst were laid before the Council, but as it had been previously decided not to remove the gateway, there was not any occasion for further action in the matter: — OSce of Woods, Scq, Whitehall Place, S.W., 28tb August, 1868. Sir,-I am informed that it is again under discussion in the Town Council of Tenby to remove the ancient gateway in the town wall, nnd I have to refer you to my communication of the 1st February, 1867, to the then Miyorof Tenby, in which I represented that, irrespective of the question as to whether or not the town walli be- longed to the Crown. I considered it would be a very questionable proceeding on the part of the Town Council i if they were to sanction the removal of the gateway. I am still of the opinion above expressed, and I trust' that the Council will reject any proposal which may come before it having for its object the destruction of the gateway. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, JAMES K. HOWARD. The Mayor of Tenby.' 'British 32, Sackville Street, Piccadilly, August 24, 1868. Sir, —In January and.February of last year I had the honour to address the Mayor of Tenby, in order to convey the opinion of the Council of the British Arch- SEOlogical Association as to the duty of preserving the aa dent gateway, and part of the walls, at Tenby, the destruction of which wa3 then contemplated by certain owners of property at Tenby. Tho resolution of the Cor- poration, then understood publicly to be final, to preserve these highly interesting and valuable monuments of anti- quity, was received with the greatest satisfaction by the educated public throughout the kingdom. The Council of the British Arcl.a; dogical Association has learned with deep regret that the attack upon these monuments has- been renewed, and that the Corporation of Tenby is pressed to abandon the wise and enlightened resolution which tiiey adopted last year. I am desired by the Council to express to your Worship their earnest hope l that the course of preservation adopted by the Corporation of Tenby last year will be pursued with determined [ perseverance, in order that not only for the present, but n.n L.IfT 'or the future, the important landmarks of ancient tory in their possession may be safe from injury. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient Servant, GORDON M. MILLS, Treasurer, British Archaeological Aesoaation# The worshipful the Mayor of Tenby.' ft was ordered that the lowering of the ground aronnd the gateway, now partially done, should be finished under the superintendence of Alderman Mason and Councillor Mends. After considering the terms on which the tolls of the markets, several fields and gardens, should be offered for letting, the meeting separated.
PEMBROKE.
PEMBROKE. GitAND AMATEUR CONCERT.-It is seldom that we have to chronicle such amusicat treat as that of the concert given at the Assembly Rooms on Monday evening, the 7th inst, which was got up tor the purpose of defraying a balance due for providing stoves (or the picturesque little church of Monkton, and supplying hymn books fortho choir. The performance as a whole surpassed anything that we have ever heard at an amateur concert, while the singing of Miss (Jarridge, and the pianoforte playing of Mrs M. Rogers, was acknowledged by lilt (who had the pleasure of hearing them) to be such as never has been surpassed in Ihiq town, if ever equalled by professional artistes. The room, which will hold about 500 persons, was filled by a most respectable and attentive audience. The programme, which was divided into two parts, commenced with the maclrigal 'Ob, who will" o'er the downs so tree,' which was well rendered by the choir; this was followpd by S-r Henry Bishop's beautiful sonr, Tell me my heart,' which was exquisitely sung by Miss Harridge, and received a well-earned encore, as did also IThe Goat I)y the same Mi>s H.jrririge beS a fine soprano voice, the rich musical tones of which will long be remembered by those who beard it; it is not merely that this lady has a fine, well trained voice, she has 'expression,' which'art can never give,' and with- out. which, however good the voice. the singing is sou less' and» unmeaning. The manner, too, in which Mrs M. Rogers executed the pianoforte solos variations, on a favourite air, Bess,' and Home, sweet Home,' I halberg, tioih of which were deservedly encored, was such as to leave no doubt that she was perfect master of her instrument. To convey an idea of this lady's talent (who has for some years been a pupil of several of the yreat artists of the day at Cheltenham) we cannot say less, and we could not say more, than that, she made her instrument speak, and that literally music flowed from the tips of her tingers.' The singing, also, of Vliss Myers, Miss F. Potter, and our old favourite, Miss Rees, was greatly admired, whilst that of Mr Lioyd, Mr Buse, Mr Williams, and Mr Truscott. was quite equal to their local fame: especially pleaded were tho audience with Mr Lloyd's song, 'I have heard sweet music stealing.' The programme was brought to an end with the .National Anthem, and the company separated, everyone agreeing that they had had a musical treat. Great credit is due to the Rev. D. VV, Morris, curate of Pembroke, for his exertions in getting subscriptions to provide stoves for Monkton Church, which were greatly needed, and will he a great comfort in the winter to the poor who assem- ble there for worship, most. of whom are poor and old, as also for the 'tatent' he brought together on the oeca-ion, which in every sense of the word was a success.

A eollection was mada in aid of the funds of the Pembrokeshire and Haverford- west Infirmary. SHir-PJNO.—The screw steamer Cassfm, Hayes, fl'Om Bueno" Ayres, Brazils and Maderia, for Liverpool, pno into Milford en Saturday morning the oih inst short of coals which were promptly supplied to licr froill the hulk Empress, moored off the town, thus enabling her to prosecute her voyage with the least possible delay. She iiad several passengers on board, four of whom availed themselves of the opportunity to land and proceed by rail fully aware that they would arrive at their destination before the ship would reach Liverpool Capt. Hayes anxious for the dispatch of the mails ho bad brought from South America and Madeira, landed the bafts con- taining about 401) letters addressed to London, the Conti- nent, and other pnr!s of the world, thus effecting in those for London and the Continent a savins of two dnys, and in those for the North and Midland Counties a paving in time of at least 0110 day: and having heard that sub- scriptions were being raised towards tlw support of the Life Boat Establishment at Milford, be very generously presented to the Examining Officer of the Customs, the gratuity allowed for tho carriage of the lettera. We cannot but wonder that M11 ford has not long ere this been maue a station for the dispatch and arrival of foreign mails, as the saving of time especially as regards the mails to and from the United States and Canada, would, as, is well known, be very considerable, to say nothing of the risk of the navigation between Milford and Liverpool, of which the country withia the last few vvetks has Itadt such terrible proofs.
THE PEMBROKE BOROUGHS' ELECTION.
THE PEMBROKE BOROUGHS' ELECTION. On Saturday, the oth inst, a monster meeting of Mr Mey rick's supporters took place at Milford. At 4 o'clock the honourable Candidate with a few personal friends arrived by steamer from Pembroke-dock, the principal gentlemen of the town receiving him on hnding, aad offering him a cordial welcome. From 1500 to 2000 of his supporters having formed themselves into a stemingly endless procession,started at G o'cJoLk from the residence of Mr Thomas Roberts, (where a large pariy of (riends had been invited to meet the honourable candidate), and. preceded by flags and a band of music, perambulated the various streets of Milford and ITakin, receiving everywheru the most gratifying demonstrations of welcome and support. Shortly after starting, tbe hotses were removed from the break containing Mr Meyriek, his stalwart sup- porters insieting on doing duty instead; it was nearlf dusk before the procession finally halted opposite the Lord Nelwn Hotel, wh.m, upon the motion of Mr Robert", Mr Wehnert was unanimously voted to the chair, and in an excellent speech introduced Mr Meyriek to the Electors, saying be was moved to do so from an intimate acquaint nee with that gentleman's ancestors and his belief that the scion of such a worthy family would prove himself deserving the support of the con- stituency of Milford, which Mr MeyriekV ample means and acquirements moreover so well qaaiiied to represent in Parliament. The uproarious applause with which this was received having abated, Mr Meyriek toe amid deafening cheers which lasted for several minutes, and thanked them for the hearty re- ception he had met with at Milford, a reception which, be said, left not the shadow of a doubt as to the result of the approaching contest, adding, that whilst on general questions he should claim to exercise an independent judgment irrespective of party, he should strenuously oppose the proposed .spoliation of the Irish Church, and rho rohbery of her revenues, a declaration which elicited several rounds of applause. rcl Mr Marriott proposed that the meeting having beard Mr Mey rick's views, pledged itself to support him. T!"S likewise having been responded to hy loud cheers, M«j Whicher Davies and Mr Churchward Mm-raily addressed the immense gathering, in further support of Mr Meyriek 9 candidature, declaring that nothing could po.-sibly more entirely hopeful and satisfactory, and, at ten o'olocft quietly dispersed this, the largest and most enthusiast' meeting of any kind ever held in this district. A spccial tuiin for Neyland, and a steamer for broke-dock, were in readiness for the convenience 01 supporters from those localities. '.r,
